9-week advanced course on extraction

registration closes sept 12, course begins sept 15
welcome. please read this intro, which applies to all advanced trainings:
before moving into advanced work at the dreaming otter, you must have a strong foundation in contemporary shamanic practice. for our community, that means that you can connect directly and reliably with your helping spirits, have a regular spiritual practice that works for you, ability to trust what you receive from your spirit helpers, and devotion to doing your work with lovingkindness.
once those fundamentals are in place, you’re ready to add advanced skills into your basket of healing tools. based in 20+ years of full-time shamanic teaching, I offer advanced training in extraction, soul retrieval, and creative ceremony for healers and folks on the path with heart. these forms of healing are rewarding, effective, and powerful.
‘extraction’ means: unseen energies cause difficulty, struggle, illness, and disharmony when they end up where they don’t belong (like stuck to a human, or in a place). ‘extraction’ means compassionately sending those energies where they do belong. it’s a harmonious solution for everyone involved, and an extraordinary way to serve.

healer’s note
I hesitated to learn these techniques for a long time because my natural healing gift is helping people return to love, instead of focusing overtly on what doesn’t belong. it took me time in my own journey to understand that returning to love and clearing with compassion are sides of a same coin – energy that doesn’t belong needs love too, and everyone benefits when energy is happy and at home.
by the end of our 9 weeks together, you’ll be part of a loving community cohort and begin your own journey helping energy arrive where it needs and wants to be…
extraction and clearing are some of the most loving forms of energy healing we can learn, to take care of ourselves and those we tend.

- 27 hours instruction over 9 weeks, $999
- each small cohort is limited to 9 participants

join the circle
you can sign up for circle below, and I’ll send a welcome a few days before we gather. circling in small groups like this is wonderful – we all learn from each other and the spirits, and feeling belonging in community is healing in itself. just the right group is called together, every time.
please note: if you and I haven’t worked together before, I’ll email you so we can set up a phone chat and find out how our energy flows together, and if you need any extra support before circle begins. I’m easy to talk with, and we’ll have a nice time together. if you and I have worked together already, big heart hug of welcome, and I look forward to seeing you again soon.
please email me with questions. until we connect, may you feel how loved, supported, and cherished you are.

‘I have long admired anna’s capacity to be able to gather just the right people together for her circles and shamanic gatherings. with her disarming and unique style of teaching and leading, she immediately guides you to feel that something really special is about to happen.
and then. something really special happens.
she holds sacred circle in a way that is mind blowing: just with her natural charisma and refined intellect guiding us all along with her. people are excited and happy to be in her presence.
she is a very special lady: kind, loving and very giving. if you want to know what a true healer and teacher looks like, look no further than anna dorian.’
